Athlone - Ireland

Following a night in a Premier Inn in Stafford we headed for the ferry port at Holyhead. We then made the three hour crossing to Dublin. We hit Dublin in the middle of a maritime festival so it was very busy. We then headed west on a long journey to Athlone right in the centre of Ireland. The campsite we had chosen to stay at was absolutely packed as it turned out to be an Irish holiday. They did however find us a pitch next to a stream, which was actually rather nice. Shattered we headed into Athlone for something to eat - ending up in a converted church for a pizza.
